artivismo, Ativismos têxteis, craftivismo, revisão de literaturaResumo
O trabalho têxtil emerge em diversos contextos como um meio para reivindicar direitos e construir a paz. Entendendo-o, no bojo das artes e dos ativismos, como uma forma de comunicação visual, narrativa e tátil, este trabalho visa contribuir para as reflexões sobre os ativismos têxteis por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura recente acerca do assunto. Procuramos compreender a partir de quais vozes, locais e abordagens esta literatura se constitui. Para tanto, foram levantados textos publicados entre 2019 e 2023, indexados na base Scopus, utilizando os termos textile associados a activism, artivism ou craftivism. A análise das 39 publicações encontradas aponta para a predominância de autoras mulheres, com origens institucionais concentradas especialmente no Reino Unido e nos Estados Unidos, seguidos da Colômbia. As suas principais disciplinas são Artes, Administração e Antropologia, sendo que contribuições interdisciplinares dos estudos feministas aparecem em quase 30 por cento das trajetórias. A recorrência da perspectiva do craftivismo e a ausência do artivismo nas abordagens pode indicar a persistência do enquadramento do têxtil no universo artesanal, em detrimento das possibilidades de leituras artísticas. Metodologias baseadas no engajamento presencial do investigador são frequentes, apontando para um tipo de conhecimento próprio da prática têxtil. A revisão permite vislumbrar elementos da complexa trama de dinâmicas sociais, políticas e culturais que permeiam o desenvolvimento histórico do trabalho têxtil, assim como da própria circulação do conhecimento acadêmico nas bases de dados.
